A PLEASANT state of affairs comes
from Rio Grande City, Texas, al
most at the extreme southern point
of that State of magnificent distances.
Mexican ''bandits" are reported to
ride in gangs at night through its
streets, terrorizing the inhabitants,
and the officers of the law are too
completely cowed to interfere with
them. The Mexican border always
has been the scene of more or less
lawlessness, but as a rule the citizens,
like Time, have their own way of
making all things even.

THE Record Union announces that
Governor Waterman has discovered
that California has had no legally
qualified Governor from January 1st.
1888, January 1st, 1887. General
George Storeman was elected and
acted as Governor for four years, but
never legally qualified. Such being
the case, there will not be an appoint
ed office in the State but which will
have to be refilled. If this be true
things will be in an awful twist in
that State.

DARoKE LAKE in South Carolina
was a body of pure water filed with
all kinds of fish. A severe hailstorm
visited that region, and Immediately
the waters of the lake became black
and poisonous. The lake is surround,
ed by y dense mass of black gum
trees, the leaves of which are strongly
impregnated with fannie acid. The
bottom of the lake contains a slight
deposit of iron. The poisoning of the
water is due to the falling in of the
bruised leaves and branches, the tan
mic acid emanating from which, min
gled with the iron, formed tannate of
iron, causing the water to turn black
and bitter as quinine, and poisoning
the fishes by thousands. The only
fish that survived the singular disas-
Ter was the mud fish. The stencil
arising from the dead fish is dreadful

THINGS have come to a pretty pass
in Indiana, when Governor Gray feels
obliged to call upon the United States
authorities to assist him In putting a
stop to the depredations of the band
of marauders known as the White

have established reign of terror in
y number of the counties in that State
have control of the local courts, SO
that nothing can be done with them

DENVER merchants seem to have
hit upon method of bringing down

SOME weeks ago the manager of
the Alice mines at Butte threatened
to close the mine if he could not get
reduced rates, from the U. p. System
for salt from Salt Lake. Quite cor
respondence sprang up between him
and Mr. Potter, Gen'l Manager, and
during the delay of definite answer
from Mr.. Potter the mine was closed.
Since then Mr.. Potter has given a re-
duction of So on the ton and the Alice
men demand $3.50 1t appears to us
singular that wealthe corporation
like the owners should close good
paying mine because of excessive
freight on little salt. We candidly
suspect they wanted to close and took
this as apretext for so doing, if they
don't accept Mr.. P's rates and open up
again we shall feel satisfied of the
correctness of our belief.

THERE are a few questions that

swer it matters not how you may tor
ture and twist them. The Repubi-
cans are now puzzling themselves
over some of them. These are what
they are asking: If we could not
beat Cleveland in 1884 when he was
comparatively unknown outside of
New York with Jim Blaine, our best
on the track, can we beat Cleveland
in 1888 with our same Jimmie. when
he has become the best known man
in the whole country and is stronger
by far than his own, the democratic
party? If we cannot beat Cleveland
with Jimmie Blaine can we rely up
on John Sherman who killed his own
boom before he could make a tour Of
a half dozen states? If Blaine and
Sherman are not to be relied on. how
will it do to trot out Bob Lincoln. the
son of his father? Frank Hiscott
wont do, will he? and Senator Allison
wouldn't be anywhere would he? And

tions are revolved the same answer

MET HIS CORRESPONDENT.

Speaking of the devotion of women
and their fondness of correspondence,
a good story is told of Timothy Trim, /"
not long ago one of the most popular
writer's in France. He was on the staff
of the Petit Journal and his name was
Les Lespes.
For an entire year M. Lespes had re-
ceived weekly epistle from an un-
known female in Eastern France. Her
letters had at first expressed tine re.
spectful attachment of a reader of his
articles, then the birth of genuine af-
lection, and finally the development of
an uncomfortable passion. At the be-
ginning they were signed "A Friend, ("
then "Your Friend" and subsequent,
"Your Little Friend"
His associates, noticing how CAREFUL,
he pressed the weekly missive to his
lips. began to jest him regarding the
writer. He then privately loaned the
correspondence to his brethren of the
pen, and it even found its way to the
Offices of other journals.
One day the Little Friend" an
nounced that she was about to come to
Paris and would pay visit to her
hearts idol Timothy" spent more
than usual care on his toilet that morn
ing, and sure enough, during the course
of the day, lady was announced by
the Office boy.
"Show her in, was the reply of the
too procrastinating consumer of ink and
paper.
trims" friends-among whom was
the famous Tony Revillon-were about
to discreetly retire when fretful voice
exclaimed:
"At last shall see him, embrace him,
and die"
With these words there burst into
the room with the sudde1ness of
cyclone female of five feet six, with
pepper and salt hair, nose like unto
the beak of crow, an enormous mouth,
in which there we're only three teeth
left, and generally as unattractive as a
stone fence.
She went over and took the journalist
in her arms, not at all abashed by The
presence of spectators.
"You see," she went on when she had
got her second wind, II have come
without reservation, without making
conditions. came on the excursion
train from Nancy, and throw myself on
your honor"
To "Timothy's" credit, be it said,
this touching appeal was not made in
vain.
